[FOUND::EUR, Req] Pokemon Pearl - Generate shiny egg

[xorhash]

Hello there,

I found the so-called "Shiny code" in the official code list. It seems that it forces the game to calculate a PID that results in a shiny Pokemon. Obviously, the code was made for a US copy of Pearl.

Now, are there any operating system independent methods to port the code or even better, is anyone willing to port the code? I am running Linux and have no Windows available anywhere, wine/mono do a terrible job sometimes, especially in stuff like emulators.

However, I do not need any possibility to get shiny wild pokemon, so that could maybe simplify the job a bit.

If required, I can give an already-completed German Pearl savestate.

EDIT: The code from the url stated in http://projectpokemon.org/forums/showthread.php?t=2111 does _not_ work. It simply crashes the game if I activate or deactivate it and encounter a Pokemon or hatch an egg.

seems to work. I don't know yet whether it just overwrites the PID with some generic value or if they're really correctly generated. It looks fine to me, though.

Thank you very much

It appears to be correct. It's the same as the normal US shiny code, except the memory addresses are changed, which is the change necessary to change the code to a different game.
